Blessed Feathers first European tour - Coming to Denmark spring 2016

Very
first European shows with Arizona spiritual folk/americana duo Blessed
Feathers.

Can you organise a tour with a band that you simply just love and would enjoy to see live ? Can I, who works with music every day still find the “true fan spirit” and approach a project “just as a fan” ? Well, I have worked with music for more than 25 years and I do consider to be a fan of every artist I’ve had the fantastic opportunity to work with. But when I approached Blessed Feathers nearly 5 months ago to ask them, if they wanted to come to Denmark and play, it was foremost my fan heart that called them up. So right now, I
am very proud. Foremost as fan but also as organiser. Finally I can
confirm 6 live shows with Arizona duo Blessed Feathers. With these 6
exclusive gigs the band will be on their first visit to Europe.

I discovered Blessed
Feathers via the vinyl club Vinyl Me, Please. Basically I became a
member of this vinyl club for 3 months just to get Blessed Feathers
3rd
album ”There Will Be No Sad Tomorrow” on vinyl as fast as
possible. Finally released autumn 2015.I fast collected all
their vinyl albums from various shop across the american continent,
and got totally hooked on the bands music vibes.

Blessed
Feathers is the work and collaboration of Donivan
Berube (Gui/ vocals) and Jacquelyn
Berube ( Banjo/vocals). Along with the help from friends, fellow
musicians who have followed and helped them on their way.

Maybe
its just because I have a sentimental thing with Arizona. The desert
heat and endless roads down south entering Yuma. Or driving
through Flagstaff (hometown of Blessed Feathers) during a cold winter
heading to the Grand Canyon. Or was in the story I got told from the old
2nd
world-war veteran outside his mobile home one morning outside
Sedona..? And as I already work with another Arizona band Bogan Via,
it was natural for me to get across and contact Blessed Feathers to
ask them, if they would be up for coming to Denmark and play. I
thankfully they accepted the invitation, and now here around 4 month
later I can confirm the very first European dates with this amazing
band:

What
really made
fall in love with their music was their songs. They write really good
songs. And then how the band has worked from album to album finding
their sound and keep on working on the very essence in their
songwriting and melodies. If you follow them from thier very first
home-made recordings of ”FromThe Mouths Of The Middle Class”
(2011) through ”PeacefulBeasts In An Ocean Of Weeds” (2012) , and ”Order Of The Arrow”
(2014) to their latest 2015 ”There Will Be No Sad Tomorrow” you can hear how much this band has
developed and how the sound has gone bigger. In their single
“Wyoming/Dakota” from the latest album
”
There Will Be No Sad Tomorrow” you here them explode into a true
athem for the traveller. Falling in love with the country, struggle
and surviving. The soul of the great american story is slowly
unfolded. You feel the big american landscape, the travel along the
roads, the songs being out there in the great wide open. Discovering
yourself, meeting the world and new faces. Discovering with every
note and get the song.

Wyoming,
how could you do this to me?

How
much more road could there be?

Rode
through rain half of the day

Wishing
that you weren't so gray

But
sometimes there's no other way

[Chorus]

Someday,
I know we'll make it out alive, I know

Till
then, I have to struggle and survive alone

For
their shows tin Denmark, the line-up will be:

Donivan
Berube (Gui/ vocals)

Jacquelyn
Berube ( Banjo/vocals)

Ross
Severson (Gui)

I
am very thankful the great booking people from Voxhall, Global and
Dexter for making this happen. And to Lollands/ Maribo Musikskole for
opening up the doors for these fine musicians. And to family and
friends dedicating themselves to this tour. And thank you Blessed
Feathers. Its the music that makes it happen.It's gonna be a great
travel, and along with the music, I am sure these guys will meet new
friends.
